   Restaurant was too crowded. Not their best food or service as we have eaten there many times.

   Thanks for the feedback, Eric! We're sorry to hear that you found the restaurant to be crowded and that your recent experiences didn't meet the usual quality we aim for. We appreciate your patience and understanding, and we hope to have the opportunity to serve you better in the future. It was definitely a busy weekend which we of course love--I recommend joining us earlier for a quieter dinner.

   Too loud and will not go back at the popular hours. Thought the crowd a bit sketchy too…

   Armando’s is a fantastic local spot, especially for folks in our neighborhood. The food is consistently above good, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. However, there have been some staffing issues, particularly with the waitstaff. They can sometimes be slow to respond to requests, and there have been a few instances where they’ve asked if fewer tables are slowing down service. On the other hand, the food itself is more than worth the occasional wait. You just have to keep a positive attitude and don’t get too frustrated. 😎

   Thanks for the review, K. Cody! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoy our food and the atmosphere at ARMANDOS. It looks like you visited on one of our busiest weekends for Valentine's Day and we're sorry to hear about the occasional delays with our waitstaff and I will definitely investigate that. I am glad that you still find our place to be a great spot for local dining. We appreciate your understanding and patience, and we're committed to ensuring a positive experience for all our guests. Looking forward to serving you again soon!

   Continues to be one of our favorite places for dinner. Grilled Snapper, Mandito Plate, Salad and Brownies were excellent.

   The food was mediocre for the amount of money it costs. Expected a better quality of food and taste for being a high end Mexican restaurant.
   

   ARMANDOSResponded on 19 February 2025

   Hi Sonal, We're really sorry to hear that you didn't have the experience you were hoping for. We take pride in our food as one of the original Tex-Mex restaurants in Houston and it's disappointing to hear that you found it to be mediocre for the price. Even after 46 years in business we are always striving to improve and your feedback is invaluable to us. We hope you'll give ARMANDOS another chance to impress you with our culinary excellence.
